First question is whether we have a reason to seek each other out. I liked your picture and responded to what you said about your history. Of course anything might happen in the world we live in, but on the average we expect younger people to out-live older people, but generally the older one would wish for the younger one to live out their own long lifetime and not have it cut short by accident or illness. At least in the Buddhist culture one is exposed to the notion that everything is temporary and what has a beginning has an end. We have a hard time, emotionally, accepting this simple fact in the "west" even if we have studied deeply the traditions of the "east".
